Amidst the rubble, #Ramadan blooms.
Despite the deep wounds and the scale of destruction, the people of Gaza insist on lighting the lamps of #joy.
#Decorations hang over ruins & smiles emerge from the heart of the tents... proving they are a people who love life, whenever they can find a path to it.

Sightings in NE, Columbia Heights and New Brighton this afternoon. They’re still at hotels, they’re still here!
No verified ICE sightings in Whittier/Uptown today, which caps a weekend of few to no sightings here either. Commuting and guard duty is still absolutely necessary; the low-intensity days are simply a welcome change.
A few ways we will know ICE is actually gone:
• Commuters no longer report regular verified ICE sightings
• Abduction reports dry up
• Hotel and car rentals end
• Non-ICE federal employees are brought back to the Whipple

“U.S. District Judge Donovan Frank ordered the release of Herrera Berrios because the federal government provided no evidence it had a warrant to arrest him.” Yet these violent agents got a Sheriff’s escort to abduct him and violate his due process. Truly shameful stuff under Witt’s watch.
A judge has ordered the release of an 18-year-old who was detained by federal agents in a chaotic scene inside the Hennepin County Government Center last week.

It’s day 76 of the ICE occupation of
MSP.
ICE is still here - we still have vastly more agents on the ground than we did in late November.
And those agents are still kidnapping our neighbors and terrorizing neighborhoods.
Stay vigilant, and let’s pay rent for March 1 for everyone who needs it.

She’s only 36, and there’s a good argument that she should run for Senate and bide her time. But she also could be a formidable White House candidate.

My pastor was saying that if a big drawdown really does happen over the next weeks, people shouldn’t be surprised if movement infighting happens (and he said that can be a good thing about spiritual practices, all that stuff needs places to go), and I don’t love it but I know he’s not wrong.
